Has this always been going on? And its just now that, in a incredible stream of coincidences, they are all being caught now?

Or is this another change in American society that's only been occuring lately? Like with all the school shootings.

And if its the latter, what do you think is causing the abundance of teachers that all of a sudden want their students?

Discuss.

It probably happens all the time but now the media is obsessed every time a new case comes up.

Thats a good point, and one that I hadn't given much thought. However, I'm not sure that these were anywhere near as abundant (that I can remember) as they are lately.

Maybe the media simply didn't find out about them? Through cover-ups that the school board implimented as to steer negative attention away from their school?

I just think its incredible. 2005 alone has seen, I dunno, maybe 5-10 of these incidents already? Just seems kind of odd to me.

I think it's been going on forever but today's boys are such pansies that they can't handle loving from an older woman. ;) J/K

I honestly think it's a combination of generational changes, more media coverage, and boys just reporting it more when it happens to them.

You promised a poll.

Also, I don't think things are changing. Minors have been having sex with adults for... well, since we differentiated between minors and adults. The only difference is that now it's taboo, and people are stupid enough to get caught.

I think it has always gone on but until recently it just hasn't garnered much media attention. Kind of like the shark attack stories a few summers ago. The media sees that a particular kind of story did well in the ratings department and they strive to bring similar stories.

This used to happen with seniors and teachers, but when it stated to happen with teachers and fifth graders, parents just felt that enough it enough.

It works the same way you were inspired to create this thread. People were talking about it, so you thought it to be news-worthy. My opinion is, the kid's dad has to be jealous.

sex between older and younger people has happened since the beginning of time. it's nothing new at all. the only difference now though is society and the law thinks they are on a moral high horse or something.

I agree with this for sure. I also think it has more to do with the internet now, and how so many people are able to go and meet young girls and/or boys to do whatever with. And so, its become a lot bigger issue in society.

I'm sure I'm going to be flamed to hell for this but...

Title: Sexual Arousal and Arousability to Pedophilic Stimuli in a Community Sample of Normal Men
Author(s): Gordon C. Nagayama Hall, Richard Hirschman, and Lori L. Oliver
Affiliation: Kent State University, Ohio
Citation: Hall, G.C.N., Hirschman, R., & Oliver, L.L., ?Sexual Arousal and Arousability to Pedophilic Stimuli in a Community Sample of Normal Men,? Behavior Therapy, Vol. 26, 1995, pp. 681-694.

Abstract Self-reported and physiological sexual arousal to adult and pedophilic stimuli were examined among 80 men drawn from a sample of volunteers. Over 1/4 of the current subjects self-reported pedophilic interest or exhibited penile arousal to pedophilic stimuli that equaled or exceeded arousal to adult stimuli. The hypothesis that arousal to pedophilic stimuli is a function of general sexual arousability factors was supported in that pedophilic and adult heterosexual arousal were positively correlated, particularly in the physiological data. Subjects who were highly arousable, insofar as they were unable to voluntarily and completely inhibit their sexual arousal, were more sexually aroused by all stimuli than were subjects who were able to inhibit their sexual arousal. Thus, arousal to pedophilic stimuli does not necessarily correspond with pedophilic behavior.

Summary This study examined men?s heterosexual attraction to adult women and prepubescent girls. The 80 men were recruited through newspaper advertisements, and therefore were not necessarily representative of the general population. Their average age was 38, and their average IQ was 110. Fifty-two were Caucasian and 25 were African American. Twenty-eight were never married, 26 were married, and 26 were separated, divorced, or widowed.

The researchers administered questionnaires to determine the men?s sexual orientation and sexual behavior. Seventy-nine of the 80 subjects indicated at least some sexual interest in adult women, and all 80 subjects reported that they had engaged in sexual acts with adult women. Sixteen of the 80 subjects (20%) admitted at least some interest in prepubescent girls, and 3 subjects (4%) admitted to engaging in sexual behavior with them.

The researchers also presented visual and audio sexual stimuli to the subjects, and measured their response using the penile plethysmograph. Visual stimuli consisted of slides of nude prepubescent girls, nude adult women, and clothed prepubescent girls. Audio stimuli consisted of audio-taped descriptions of consenting sexual intercourse with a woman, consenting sexual intercourse with a prepubescent girl, the rape of an unwilling girl, and nonsexual physical violence against an unwilling girl.

Twenty-six subjects (33%) exhibited sexual arousal to the child slides that equaled or exceeded their arousal to the adult slides. Twenty-one subjects (26%) exhibited sexual arousal to the child consenting tapes that equaled or exceeded their arousal to the adult consenting tapes.

Neither female pedophilic interest nor female pedophilic activity was significantly associated with subject age or IQ. The subjects who admitted to engaging in pedophilic behavior were not outliers in terms of their physiological sexual arousal patterns.

Situations in which the partner consented to sexual activity, even when the partner was a child, were more sexually arousing to the men than situations which involved force. Those who were more intensely aroused by adult stimuli tended also to be more intensely aroused by pedophilic stimuli.

moral or not it's perfectly normal. don't take it the wrong way though, no one has a right to sleep with kids in a civilized society. however age 14+ is a pretty blurry area as far as morality is concerned.

I'd like to add that in studies using both heterosexual and homosexual male subjects, the homosexual males were no more likely to be aroused in response to pedophilic stimuli than were the heterosexual males.
